Gram_Reaper Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 Thanks man. Well i got my saber model finished but im giving up on skinning. Its impossible. Ill get the pic up in a few days. Its pretty crappy for first time
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 Lyger- ok to resize the saber of your creation do this 1. Click File, Import 2.Import a saber from the base, models, saber directory 3.your created saber probly is HUGE compared to the real one used in game so click the resize button, i think its next to the rotate button and make it as small as you want. Then right click on the REAL saber and hide it 4.To find out your polygon count click on your created saber and click to "tool"tab on the same row as the Geometric shapes tab and click the Polygon Counter and it will give you the number of polys in your saber. remember it HAS to stay between 100 to 1000 polys.I dont know how to figure out the vetices. Gram Reaper- trust me, i gave up trying to skin my damn model LOOONG ago Dont worry if you first saber is crappy and dont worry if other people think you saber is crappy, EVERYONE has to start somewhere. If you want ill send you a reference model of my Saber in G-Max form to your E-Mail?
Gram_Reaper Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 thanks man, cause right now the tutorial is giving me a headache. Yeah send me the reference to insane_30@hotmail.com. If you want i can send the my model of my saber for you to check out
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 allright send me your model and ill send you mine send it at Bakers8er@Yahoo.com
Gram_Reaper Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 hahahah thats just great, my saber is like 3500 polys
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 WOW! sweeeet. If you want i could lower the polygon count on it? We could each modify our sabers. I modify yours and you modify mine
Gram_Reaper Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 yeah that would be good you thinks its that good
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 i cant look at your G-Max model right now because im on the wrong computer but ill take a look at it tonight. If you like the idea, we could each modify eachother saber models and improve on them?
Gram_Reaper Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Yeah im good with that. i Just warn you that it might skyrocket the poly count. Ill try to keep it low
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 dont worry about it, if the poly count goes above 1000 ill fix it, just make any addons you think would look nice on the hilt. Ill look at your tonight and adjust the poly count on it and send it to you either tonight or tommorrow
Gram_Reaper Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 ok send it back with your saber when you fix the polys
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 I have no clue but if i find out ill definetly tell you
Gram_Reaper Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 im on vacation with my family till sunday so you can hold out till then
KBell Posted July 11, 2002 Author Posted July 11, 2002 wait are you sure you sent the right file because i cant seem to load it. Just open up your model, click save as and save it to a folder and attach that to the e-mail.
Master Burner Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Originally posted by Gram_Reaper How do you take screens? erh have you tried the button called "Print Screen" ?? then go into Photo Shop or something like that and click on crtl + v then there should appear a picture of your current screen (like of you click on the print screen now you will see this post, your internet window and your start menu) its the best way i know of taking screenshots
pud1 Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 set up the picture press "print screen" (next to scroll lock) open up mspaint edit/paste there you are save as a jpg instead of bmp b/c of size
KBell Posted July 14, 2002 Author Posted July 14, 2002 Thanks to all, i was also wondering how to take screens. wow, i only thought this threAD was only gonna last 5 replys
Gram_Reaper Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Hey ya thanks for the screen tip. Baker yeah ill send the file monday. dont know what could have been wrong with the last one. Oh well
Gram_Reaper Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Oh Yeah, i was thinking about it and i thought. Man, Gram, your saber is going to be one &@$ to skin. If ya can give me any pointers about skinning when you get the poly count down they wouold be great
